Not been to Sheesh either yet I'm affraid. The missus is always nagging for me to take her out so that's looking like a good candidate!! Then Smith's, then the other place, Alexsander's is it???

briers,

The car is indeed lovely, when I saw her last night she looked stunning under the street lamps. Not 100% sure about the wheels, they're a bit too convex for my liking but as an overall package the car looks spot on.

Thanks fella. Have you fettled with your X5 yet??? Be good to see some pics if you have.

Nah i pretty much spec'd up mine to the max even the sound system! The only thing i regret not getting was comfort entry to match the fast datsun. I have stuff like HUD which i would love in the FD.
Would like bigger wheels but the roads around Glasgow and my drive are seriously horrendous. Even in the X5 you have to drop into some of the potholes at crawling speed.

I have installed LI 'parking sensors' but going to have to get special brackets made up for the front as they sit too far back and are not effective. But that's about it.

Would like a tune, but doesn't appear to be one oh and paddles. 300bhp and 8 speed shouldn't need it, but i find that there are occasions where i miss it.

Fair point, mind you see a few about now so..........they do a diesel, 240 bhp, 0-62 in 7.8, combined mpg - 38.2.

Around 25 mpg combined I think lol............mind you that torque would pull side of a house down! Is the mpg too bad considering it weighs OVER 2.5 tonnes.

True all have their merits, but for me the 40d engine has the edge in terms of power / economy balance. especially when they put in the 8speed box as one of the things i hated about the 335D was the gearbox.

Saying that with the roads as they are, the power is pretty redundant most of the time and the RRS would be better for cruising about it in Apparently the ladies prefer it

Furry muff Ian.

Oh I don't know, move to East Yorks and I can show you many miles of empty roads where one can really boot it. How do you think I run my cars in quite a short period of time.

Which ladies...........me or the ones you pulled whilst driving a RRS.

I've been down to East Yorks a few times and yeh the roads are great. But i'd miss the nightlife of Glasgow!

As for ladies...i've never owned an RRS...... And i see more driving them than guys up in Glasgow (same goes for X5's and most SUV's!)

In Glasgow a flash car would put the ladies off or at least that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it

What and you've never bought me a coffee!!!! Wtf.

Hull is only up the road........just don't expect too high a class of company......that's a bit unkind to be fair lol. It is lively though, put it that way!

Ha, ha.......ok I believe you. Saw a 60 plate black fast Datsun t'other day on the A63 trundling along..........he had the window down and was smoking a cig. Now I smoke but NOT in my car........tut, tut.

It was a few years ago, before i signed up here....next time i will

Yeh my mates band used to play a Hull a lot, so i know quite a bit about it.....

Bizarrely I drive mine at night mostly....when i drive it during the day, you get people racing you, etc...much more fun on dry roads at night.
